Sharman said in a daze, "Brother Salin, you're so outrageous, but what should we do now? My guard, my sister will kill me. "
Sharman was exaggerating, but Salin just smiled. "Sharman, you're only sixteen and already a sword saint. Have you ever thought of joining the army?"
"Join the army?"
Salin thought for a while. "The Metatlin family is the royal family of the Fourth Dynasty. The nobles that followed us are basically gone, so our family needs to appoint a new group of nobles. If you're willing, you can follow me. "
"Brother Salin, if you and I both die here, you don't have to brag." Sharman's words became more and more dejected. She was surrounded by more than five thousand people. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. So what if he was a sword saint? In the chaos of the army, it would be amazing if he could break out. Abandoning his own guards and mages? What was the difference between that and dying in battle?
"Sharman, if I can take you away safely this time, and that mage, you'll follow me, right?" Salin threw out a bait. Actually, even if Sharman didn't plan to follow him, he wouldn't leave her to die. The Roland family was good at forging weapons and armor. They had a large number of high-level craftsmen. If he could get them to Metatlin, he wouldn't have to sell ores. He could only make more money by forging ores into equipment.
"Follow you? What can I do? You already have a silver sword saint. "Sharman was shocked by Sue's strength and didn't take herself seriously. Salin was secretly delighted.
"Sue is my follower. He still has a lot to learn. I can't let him leave my side. You, do you want to be a general? "
"General? You mean a general! "
"Yes, a general who leads thousands of troops."
Sharman was really tempted. She was lively and jumpy, but she also had the quality of patience. According to mages, she was a bit schizophrenic. She couldn't be a mage with this temperament, but she could learn swordsmanship. For the sake of a victory, she could endure to the extreme, but to make her endure loneliness for the sake of magic, she absolutely could not do it.
So with the same talent, she learned swordsmanship, and her sister learned magic. Salin said it wasn't unacceptable for her to be a general. Qin Yin had a baroness, so of course, he could have a female general. At the beginning of the country's founding, there were even duchesses.
"Hmph, don't lie to me. How many people can you let me lead?" Sha Man didn't realize what Salin wanted to do. She didn't think that she was important in the Roland family. Without her sister, she wouldn't be able to do well in the family. Her pride was built on her swordsmanship. But she did not think that she could be a qualified general.
"I'll let you lead as many people as you can," Salin replied with a smile. He also knew that Sha Man did not have the qualities of a soldier. However, everything could be nurtured. By the time Sharman was nurtured into a qualified soldier, she would probably have already advanced to become a Black Iron Sword Saint.
On the battlefield, individual bravery was not very important, but if a general was at the level of a Sword Saint, it would be very important for morale. Without the strength of a Sword Saint, it would be very easy to be killed by the magic of a Great Mage.
Although it was difficult to train a Sword Saint to become a general, Sharman was still young and had plenty of room for development! It was much easier to coax a Sword Saint to work for him than to train a general to become a Sword Saint.
As for the use of a Sword Saint, Salin had his own plans. Someone like Zola could only stay in Metatlin City. Salin didn't feel at ease letting him lead the troops out. On the contrary, Salin had high hopes for Sue.
Sue's character was excellent, and she had no one to rely on in the Myers Continent. She only had herself as a lord. Such a person could only be found by chance.
As for Sha Man, if he let her go, it would be Salin's own mistake.
The two people sat opposite each other. During the period of silence, a loud roar came from outside the barracks. It was the sound of magic bursting out.
Sha Man's expression changed. Salin said: "Don't worry, the bandits only have a lot of people, there are no real experts."
Salin knew in his heart that Sha Man had to endure and not impulsively rush out to kill. The barracks was brightly lit. The siege hammers transported by the bandits had broken through the wooden wall and unfolded, forming a metal arch bridge. More than ninety heavily armored cavalrymen rushed up and directly smashed more than a dozen skeleton soldiers in front of them.
The heavily armored cavalrymen rode Armored Lizards and were not afraid of the undead aura of the skeleton soldiers. The skeleton soldiers' bones also couldn't withstand the impact of the Armored Lizards. The barracks was in front, and the heavily armored cavalrymen crossed the metal arch bridge and rushed towards the infantry below.
The infantry hurriedly retreated, and more than a hundred corpse soldiers pounced on the heavily armored cavalrymen on both sides. Under Ainphent's control, these corpse soldiers instantly went berserk, erupting with powerful strength and entangling with the heavily armored cavalrymen.
The magic beast-type heavily armored cavalrymen didn't rely on their impact to fight, and even if they slowed down, their lethality was tremendous. It was difficult to rely on heavy infantry to restrain this type of cavalry. Attacked by the berserk corpse soldiers, these heavily armored infantrymen took out their long swords and desperately slashed. Behind the heavily armored cavalrymen, hundreds of lightly armored bandits climbed the metal arch bridge.
Trish sneered and said: "Ainphent, cut off their retreat."
Ainphent smiled bitterly. This Trish was rude. But she could release level-seven magic scrolls, so what could he complain about? This kind of strength was a level higher than his own.
Ainphent bellowed: "Rise!"
The undead plant hidden underground quickly drilled out and appeared outside the camp, immediately blocking the hundreds of bandits inside. Seeing that the enemy's vanguard had charged in, Trish didn't hesitate. These ninety or so heavily armored cavalrymen were Salin's targets. It would be very difficult for Sue to deal with them alone.
There were ninety Swordsmen riding level-four magic beasts. Salin wouldn't agree to let Sue fight them alone. Salin didn't forget that the Holy See's silver Sword Saint had tried to attack the main camp alone, but ended up being plotted against. If there was a Sword Saint hidden among the enemy's heavy armored cavalrymen, it would be extremely dangerous for Sue.
Sword Saints were also afraid of magic, right? Since they could set up traps, why use swords and spears?
Seeing that the undead plant had grown to more than ten meters tall in the blink of an eye, and its crown covered an area of dozens of meters, Trish knew it was time to act. He first unfurled a large Quicksand Scroll, immediately trapping nearly a hundred heavily armored cavalrymen. Then he slowly unfurled the black magic scroll that Salin had given him.
Within a radius of fifty meters, the quicksand spewed out flames that were more than twenty meters tall. These flames were purple in color, and the most bizarre thing was that they were of the same thickness, like hundreds of water pillars shooting into the sky. Needless to say, the hundreds of flames were extremely hot. The Armored Lizards were originally covered in a layer of leather, but even their hard scales were burned through.
More than ninety cavalrymen couldn't resist at all, and a Sword Saint hidden among them was also hit by this level-seven spell. He wailed and fell off his mount.
The densely packed fire net made it impossible for the cavalrymen to escape, and nearly a hundred berserk Corpse Soldiers were also burned to death. If not for the berserk Corpse Soldiers, Trish's large Quicksand Scroll wouldn't have been able to control the situation in an instant. Even with the scroll, it would take more than ten seconds to prepare for the level-seven spell.
Sacrificing a few berserk Corpse Soldiers wasn't a big deal. But these heavy armored cavalrymen were the elites of the bandits. If these ninety cavalrymen weren't eliminated, all the guards of the caravan together wouldn't be a match for them. The bandits who climbed over the metal bridge bumped into the fire net, and more than a hundred of them were burned out of shape together with the metal bridge. More than two hundred bandits behind them also had smoke rising from their feet.
The remaining hundred berserk Corpse Soldiers rushed forward, and Ainphent finally relaxed. The enemy rushed into the camp, but they didn't expect that the camp was also separated. A large Quicksand Scroll and a level-seven spell directly took care of these ninety cavalrymen, and the bandits outside were no longer a concern.
"Shoot them to death!" Ainphent saw more than two hundred bandits stubbornly resisting. The berserk Corpse Soldiers didn't have any weapons, and attacking with their nails was too slow. He ordered his fifty bodyguards to raise their alchemy crossbows and shoot at the bandits.
Since they didn't have to worry about the Corpse Soldiers, more than thirty bandits were instantly killed. Ainphent still wasn't satisfied. His bodyguards really weren't cut out to be crossbowmen. At such a close distance, one-third of the arrows actually missed!
The flames had already disappeared. This area-of-effect spell was powerful, but it didn't last long. Fortunately, the Armored Lizards were finished, and the surviving bandits were also seriously injured. Ainphent waved his hand, and his bodyguards put down their alchemy crossbows, drew their longswords, and rushed forward.
Sharman's soldiers finally reacted. They all took out their bows and arrows, and shot at the bandits who were entangled with the Corpse Soldiers.
Sharman's aunt and the level-five Magician hid behind the soldiers, and they clearly saw that when the ninety cavalrymen rushed into the camp, the two of them wanted to escape. They wanted to rush into the barracks and leave with Sharman. In the end, Trish used two scrolls to burn the enemy's most powerful force to death.
The level-five Magician swallowed, thinking, How much is a level-seven area-of-effect magic scroll worth?! If it were him, he wouldn't be willing to use it unless he was in a life-or-death situation.
Sharman's aunt also knew how precious Advanced Magic Scrolls were. She inwardly thought that Salin was truly rich. Just look at that woman called Trish. She didn't hesitate to use up an Intermediate Magic Scroll and an Advanced Magic Scroll.
Inside the barracks, Salin had already sensed that Trish had used the high-level scroll. Although a level-seven magic scroll wasn't very powerful, it was the fault of those cavalrymen who dared to rush into the camp. In such a narrow area, the power of this area-of-effect magic was immediately increased by dozens of times. If it were on the road, at most a dozen cavalrymen would be trapped, and when the magic finished, several more would escape.
A level-seven magic scroll was about the same price as a level-eight scroll, at least 100,000 gold coins. This was because there were hundreds of times more mages who could use level-seven scrolls than level-eight scrolls. These hundreds of thousands of gold coins could at most kill a dozen people in a field battle. Unless they were crazy, no one would want to use scrolls to decide the outcome of a battle.
Boom!
The wooden wall on the right side of the camp collapsed, and a dozen bandits carrying huge logs directly rushed into the camp. Sharman's aunt tactfully shut her mouth, waiting for Ainphent to give the order.
Seeing more people rush into the camp, Ainphent wasn't surprised, but happy instead. It wasn't enough to kill these elites, he had to severely injure the five thousand bandits surrounding the camp. He shouted, "Sue, prepare to counterattack with my men. Trish, just don't let anyone rush into the barracks!"
